Zdzis\u0142aw Mach, a sociologist from the\u00a0<a title=\"Jagiellonian University\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jagiellonian_University\">Jagiellonian University<\/a>, explains that when Poles were forced to resettle in the West, which they resented, they had to leave the land they considered sacred and move to areas inhabited by the enemy. In addition, Communist authorities did not initially invest in the Recovered Territories because, like the settlers, for a long time they were unsure about the future of these lands. As Mach says, people in Western Poland for years lived &#8222;on their suitcases&#8220;, with all their belongings packed in case of return to the East.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wikipedia: People who moved from the East to the Recovered Territories talked amongst themselves about their return to Lw\u00f3w and other eastern locations, and the German return to\u00a0Silesia, as a result of\u00a0World War III, in which Western Allies would defeat &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/?p=20450\">Weiterlesen <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20450","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20450"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20450\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20450"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20450"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwehle.de\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20450"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
